The Michigan State Spartan football team went into Happy Valley this weekend and won for the first time there in 45 years! They beat Penn State 28-22, to stake their claim of the Big Ten Championship since 1990. Now, it is a waiting game as to what bowl the Spartans will attend, but it is looking like they will be shut out of a BCS Bowl, even though they achieved 11 wins for the first time in t...

The University of Illinois Fighting Illini will take on Big Ten rival Indiana University Hoosiers at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning at Memorial Stadium. The Illini are coming off of a loss against Michigan State in which the Illini were actually winning by 3 at halftime. Unfortunately for the Illinois fans the Illini didn't put another point on the board the rest of the game and lost 26-6. I...

Before I begin, I ‘d just like to give a shout out to fellow Pro Sports blogger James Centifonti (http://prosportsblogging.com/author/jamescentifonti/) for giving me the idea to this week's blog. After my previous article, he commented on it, and writing that “I hope for the sake of college football that this program gets back to that elite status. It’s just good for the game....

With 2 straight victories over ranked Big Ten opponents, Michigan States sits atop the league at 2-0, tied with Ohio State. The road to a Big Ten Championship is now in place, as the Spartans know exactly what lies between them and their first league title since 1990. With a victory this weekend, MSU could have their first 7-0 start, since the National Championship year of 1966. I may be gettin...

Oregon is coming off another impressive win at home against fellow Pac 10 opponent Stanford 52-31. They don't show any signs of letting up either, the Ducks still lead the nation in scoring and total yards per game. This weekend the Ducks travel to Martin Stadium in Pullman, WA to take on a very weak Cougars team on their homecoming. The Ducks are steadily moving their ways up the polls and get...

The Illinois Fighting Illini put up a fight on Saturday at Memorial Stadium against the 2nd ranked team in the nation, the Ohio State Buckeyes. Even though the Illini only lead the game for about 3 minutes, the game was within one possession until 2 minutes left in the game. Terrelle Pryor was hampered slightly with a leg injury that he sustained during the game, but the Illini's defense pl...

On a warm and sunny day in Autzen Stadium when the game between #4 Oregon and #9 Stanford began, the first half was anything but beautiful for the home-standing Ducks. Stanford took advantage of a few early Oregon turnovers and an overpowering offensive line to race out to a 21-3 lead in the first half. Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck seemed to be in complete control early, and the powerful ru...

The University of Illinois beat the Huskies 28-22 last Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Champaign, IL. After playing Missouri and two in-state teams in Southern Illinois University and NIU, the Illini are facing college football powerhouse Ohio State. Ohio State is currently ranke...

When you aspire to become National Champions as the Ohio State Buckeyes vocalize being this season there is no room for a ‘break’.
Of course every team in the FBS wants to hold the Waterford Crystal football high at season’s end but there is a difference between casually dating the idea and really fighting to make the ultimate commitment.
In 2007 the Buckeyes were ranked on top of the cou...

The University of Miami goes head-to-head with The Ohio State Buckeyes for the first time since meeting in the 2002 National Championship Game at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.
The colors are the same, Jim Tressel is still wearing a sweater vest on the sideline and the pigskin is still made of leather. Beyond that there are hardly any similarities to the match-up that resulted in the cont...

Coal is a very important natural resource to the state of West Virginia and her citizens. As such, it should come as no surprise that a majority in the state consider themselves ”friends of coal”. While West Virginians may agree on the importance of coal, they do not agree on which is the best college football team in the state. So, every year, Marshall and West Virginia ...
